The video should be embedded now! I’m positive that I added it when writing the draft, but Kinja may have eaten it. lol

I suppose I could have stated that better - I run a company and work regularly with other CEO’s - I’d like to think that I’m well-liked (the surveys say so, anyway), but that doesn’t mean that I have the bandwidth to discuss the minutiae of different initiatives, nor the time to get in the weeds regarding different…

I’ve personally met the current and last two CEO’s of my supplying corporation. My impression of all three of them was positive, something that was confirmed to me by third parties. It’s not necessary for a CEO to be an asshole.

I can think of a worse way to spend my day: actually watching that asshole on TV.

They will lease a car, throwing thousands of dollars at possession that has a finite duration. At the end of that money, they have no car.

It’s always fascinating to see who has the more garbage takes in sports, Stephen A or Skip Bayless. Wait, no scratch that. It’s awful. It’s so fucking awful.

So just that it’s clear. Gas powered vehicles for necessary travel bad. Burning 1000’s of gallons of rocket fuel for the amusement of the super rich ok. 

SpaceShipTwo is the plane that VSS Unity is the rocket you’re in, and that has a rocket booster. 1 person died when it blew up during a test flight, another survived.

To be fair, this is extremely low-hanging fruit. 

Really?  I continue to wonder why is Erik Shilling still employed by this blog? I’ve yet to see anything of substance related to the automotive world (or plane/boat lopnik), in any of his writing. It’s all emotional psychobabble. I get the feeling he’s using us a cheap therapy outlet, instead of paying for the help he…

How ever much shade Erik wants to throw on this accomplishment, Virgin Galactic’s ship performed exactly as they planned and expected. In no way did it not achieve what they set out to do yesterday.

Sounds like something someone who hasn’t gone to space would say.

The #1 song for a while was WAP and people are crying about this. GTFO

Fun drive indeed, and a nice one to not have to hurry either (not that you have much choice depending on who you get stuck behind). Was great to make stops at the little places on the various keys along the way.

I couldn’t stand him until he did that virtual Nirvana cover concert last year, and it was so spot on that I immediately gained a ton of respect for him. I have friends who are into him and they say that he seems like a cool dude. But yeah, based on appearances, I would not otherwise be a fan.

There are some Post Malone songs that I enjoy. This is not one of them. 

Black people aren’t being gunned down in Maine. There are barely any black people in Maine to start with - 1.38% of the population. And the majority of those who are here are actual Africans. Big Somali population sponsored by the Lutheran church. And they keep to themselves.

I’m honestly shocked to see such a pro-First Amendment stance on this website in 2021. Well said.

Sure as long as we also ban everything I don’t want people to say. And then everything everyone else doesn’t want people to say. Once everyone has had a chance to weigh in and point out what they find offensive and we make a nice long list of words no one’s allowed to say then that’s totally fair and the freest of…

OP didn’t whine, bitch or make demands. You may have seen that elsewhere but the starting comment of this thread reads to me as a light-hearted joke about what a reach it is to connect the event to automotive news. Not everyone who disagrees with anything you or I may believe is an ideological foe.
